Couples therapy helps partners in all types of relationships recognize and resolve conflicts. It is an effective means of either improving a relationship or, sometimes, of making the difficult decision to end a relationship. Relationship counseling is a dedicated time and place to explore your relationship with an impartial, objective and highly trained third party. Our Couples therapy in NYC, have trained therapists specializing in marriage counseling, interpersonal therapies, communication skills, and addiction as it arises in coupledom. Some of the couples therapists on our staff are clinical members or supervisors in The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).
Some specific areas where we can help include:
– Anger/ Fighting that escalates to uncomfortable levels
– Chronic, repetitive arguments that never get resolved
– Parenting issues and conflicting ideas about child-rearing
– Intimacy issues
-Infidelity and trust issues
-Pre-marriage counseling and relational “tune-ups”
With the help of a skilled couples therapist, couples can learn new, more effective ways of speaking and listening to one another. They will learn to recognize what makes things go wrong in the relationship, how both partners feed into these destructive patterns and ultimately how to create a more intimate and loving relationship.
During the assessment phase, which typically lasts 1-3 sessions, the therapist will gain a comprehensive understanding of the couple’s goals and dynamics to develop a collaborative treatment plan. This process ensures that therapy is tailored to the specific needs of each couple, fostering growth, healing, and a healthy relationship.
All relationships experience ups and downs, but if you and your partner are caught in a cycle of tension, disconnection, or repeated arguments without resolution, it may be time to consider couples therapy. Many couples wait too long to seek help—on average, about six years from first noticing signs of trouble. Don’t let this be you! The sooner you engage in counseling, the better the chance of breaking free from negative patterns and rebuilding a healthier, more satisfying relationship.
Whether you’re dealing with marital issues, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts, a professional therapist can help you navigate these challenges. It’s never too early to start your journey towards a stronger partnership. If you’re considering marriage counseling, now is the time to call us.
How Long Does It Take And How Much Does It Cost?
Typically, we recommend a commitment of 3-6 months, with couples therapy sessions scheduled once a week. During this period, you and your partner will work with a couples counselor to explore underlying issues, develop better communication skills, and build stronger emotional connections. The cost for couples therapy services varies and will be discussed with the therapist during your initial consultation.
